EDU: Awesome College Campus Backdrops

There’s a reason why some colleges charge an upwards of 48 thousand dollars a year and it’s not always just about the education—it’s to keep the campus beautiful and eye-catching. Here some awesome college campus backdrops to fill out the frames of your photographs.

1) Stadium or Sports Complex

Who ever said size matters? Whether it’s big or small, you can use a stadium or sports field as the perfect photo backdrop. If possible, get this photograph during a specific game and the people in the backdrop will liven up the photo even further.

2) The College’s Main Building

If you are at a major American college, the odds are you have a significant main building. I went to the wonderful Fordham University and that gorgeous campus had Keating Hall: a building filled with offices and classrooms. But you would have never guessed that from the outside—its rustic look mixed with a majestic bell tower would be a perfect backdrop for any photo. And as I previously mentioned, it is highly likely that most major campuses have a building that matches or surpasses this magnitude.

3) Theater or Performing Arts Center

The theater could be a good option. Similar to the sports complex, it can be big or small. But on the other hand, if you can get in with your subject while it’s empty it would make for a much more personalized shot.

4) Library

This may sound like a boring backdrop—especially when the library always reminds you of all the lost hours in that place—but some colleges have the nicest libraries in America so you should most definitely take advantage.

5) The College’s Secret Locations

Most college campuses are old and have secret locations. Although most of the time they are the worst kept secrets after about two weeks of freshmen year. Are you desperate for a shot that’ different and hidden? It just might be time to do some late-night exploring, just don’t get caught and don’t blame us if you do.

Those pictures are awesome! My college is beautiful too but i seldom go back to take pictures after graduation. I am thinking about going back this weekend, fortunately, my apartment is not far away from my college.
